Flatbed & Dropside Vehicles
PeoplePanel® for Flatbed & Dropside Vehicles
Flatbed and dropside vehicles are commonly used by utility companies and builders merchants to complete urban ‘last mile’ deliveries. Dawes Highway Safety work with leading UK builders merchants and utility companies to enhance their vehicle safety.
Delivering materials to commercial and domestic sites, these vehicles operate in areas around people who may be unfamiliar with lorry danger. Our effective and overt warning signage plays a crucial part in keeping customers and colleagues safe.
A particular benefit of using PeoplePanels® in these industries is an immediate reduction in incidents where loading machines such as fork-lifts and telehandlers collide with the side of the lorry and cause damage.
Our ability to meet the strict safety requirements of many household name companies, while enhancing the appearance of our customer’s fleet, and helping increase brand awareness, is a real advantage.

It’s not just a sign,
it’s safety equipment
